I don’t want something special. I want something beautifully plain.

Still

I see you averting your glances.

I see you cheering on the war.

I see you ignoring your children.

I see you altering history.

I see you abusing the land.

I see you, your selective amnesia.

I see you holding your grudges.

I see you gunning them down.

I see you silencing your sisters.

I see you lie to your country

I see you forcing them out.

I see you blaming each other.

And I love you still.

- from Still by Alanis Morissette

We are going to suffer.
And it is going to shape us.
Somehow.
We will become.
Bitter or better.
Closed or open.
More ignorant or more aware.
More or less tuned in to the thousands upon thousands of gifts we are surrounded with every single day.
This too will shape me.
The only question left is, how?

Drops Like Stars by Rob Bell

Song For Liz

she builds it and watches it all fall down

the love she never expected to come

she’ll let it go to make everything else go right

she’ll put it out like a candlelight

like chasing the sun across the sky

just to stop at the end of the day

she braves the night alone

uncertain of the dawn

she dances with the ghost of her favorite song

as the night sky tries its best to reach down

the moonlight and stars move to the lonely beat

I wrote that passage as tribute to Liz Parker. She is the central character in TV show, Roswell, one of my all-time favorite shows.

Awesome setup.

Awesome setup.

Steve Jobs: Computers will be essential in most homes.

Playboy: What will change?

Steve Jobs: The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it into a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be truly remarkable breakthrough for most people - as remarkable as the telephone.
